Done some more testing. I am now able to dump textures from the textures4 .forge, but like Custard, I can't get any diffuse textures out of it.

i dont think it holds diffuses..

Cheers Do you think HD diffuses even exist? If they do, where would they be located?

I don't actually play the game, I'm just ripping stuff.

Thanks for this amazing work, but i noticed that the mesh normals are impossible to fix !

The 'seriously broken' ones are actually unconnected faces

ravenov welp, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvUvC_5dnZ4 for now. I'm trying to dig up stuff to completely deserialize buildTables (assets). I don't know when I'm going to fix those normals. I'm pretty sure anyone could poke some more experienced rippers to take a look at how my algo unpacks them, maybe (actyally, most likely) I'm doing something wrong. If they will provide an insight on how to fix it, I'll update the code.

Any help will be appreciated!!

I really appreciated for those making contribution to this community.

So I ran the asset.dump.py by cmd it seems work perfectly fine at the start



but at the end of the script it showed that there's some error and I couldn't find any asset file either

buildDDS fails to find it's executables for texture conversion. Make sure you've downloaded those (links in README.md) and set their path in r6s/settings.py

I've been building a new PC and installing things on it, it was an easy opportunity to check some differences between Ultra texture pack and not.

There is a 13 file difference between the two installations, there are 13 texture4.forges, so this is fully accounted for by those. The client indicated a 23.49 GB download for the ultra pack, the texture4.forges total 21.9 GB in size. So, a gig and a half unaccounted for, idk could be many things; replacing some depgraphs, the download container, etc..

Took a few menu screenshots for side-by-side looks. The higher quality was obvious enough in all cases, but I couldn't spy any obvious clues about diffuses in specific. Most or all of the improvements could be the normal maps to my eye. I'll include the most potential diffuse difference I seen, with this deagle skin below. The pattern on the barrel has banding, the intricate pattern on the grip appears to have slightly sharper definitions of minuscule detail.



Still not enough to fully convince me a higher level diffuse exists, and this was by far the best case I seen to suggest it out of a dozen examples.

On another subject, anyone has worked out a correct hair shader? Diffuse with alpha and normal texture seem straightforward, it's the black and white map I'm not sure about. It didn't look correct as anything I tried so far; spec, roughness, glossiness, both, and as many combinations of those as I thought of.

Each buildTable (asset) file has shaders stored in it. Like, plain hlsl text. I could make script dump those so we don't have to guess how they work.

Why don't just use GPA and check the texture resolution?

If you could make that happen I'd be interested, though I don't yet know how readable hlsl is.

Weell.. It's a good idea. I have PTSD of using that program and it's not installed anymore. I checked it as above only because it was easy, since I'm questioning the value of exploring more the possibility of tier 4 diffuse. The complete lack of finding any other magic types in those forges leave little wind in those sails.

@Floxay, when you upload models you tag also Roughness map. Which one are you plugging into roughness? For example in the DP27. Unfortunately if there are shaders made up in the .fbx it doesn't perserve it into Blender.

Inverted G, i'm not sure if it's correct
actually i know my nodes are not correct but looks okayish :d
